Bagborough v Timberscombe 22 August 2009
Timberscombe brushed Bagborough aside as they got
revenge for the defeat against the same opposition earlier in the
season.
Asked to bat Timberscombe went about their innings cautiously on an
unreliable surface. Paul Sparks (42) and Bruce Lang (33) put together a
handy second wicket 71 run partnership that provided a platform for the
team to push off from. A flurry of wickets meant the innings faltered a
little until Tom Sparks (40) and Will Giblett (30 no, including one huge six) put together 60
runs from just 7 overs to effectively take the game away from the
hosts. The innings closed on 204 for 6.
Bagborough were soon in trouble as opener Phillips was run out without
facing in the first over. 24 for 2 soon became 57 for 7 as the visitors
bowlers all helped themselves. Rob Golding and Will Giblett were backed
up by the change bowlers. But, it was the spinnners who caused most
trouble as, firstly Nick Virgin picked up 2 wickets, and then Geoff
Dibble polished off the tail with 3 for 9.
